    For some, the technical jank may be enough to put them off engaging with Dead or School fully. That’d be a real shame, though; allow yourself to get wrapped up in the narrative, the mechanics, the piles of loot, the beautifully designed stages and the game’s wonderful sense of style, and there’s something truly special to enjoy here; an honest-to-goodness hidden gem if ever there was one.

    Dead or School is a game with limited budget, and that sings from afar: animations, videos, repetitive backgrounds... lots of things could be better. But the important, its metroidvania gameplay it's fun and systems like the weapon upgrade are deep and works better. Add a craziness layer, and you've got a simple but enjoyable game.

    Dead or School provides a surprisingly long side-scrolling action campaign that’s sure to please fans of Castlevania-style games, especially those who’ve grown tired of countless retro-graphic homages. The action is tight, the story is fun, and the rewards are big.

    Addictive game, its funny, has pretty cool artwork and is a overall fun experience. If you like rpgs and hack & slash than this is a game for you.

    La historia es bastante buena pero el juego en si se vuelve muy tedioso, dura demasiado sinceramente, hay muchas peleas que sobran y rellenoLa historia es bastante buena pero el juego en si se vuelve muy tedioso, dura demasiado sinceramente, hay muchas peleas que sobran y relleno de por medio, el apartado artístico es malo, se ve que el juego no contó con suficiente presupuesto, las físicas tampoco son algo destacable, las voces están bien pero que lastima, les hubiera quedado un juego muy bueno sin tanto relleno innecesario.
